2014 08 20 Ustream Interview + Live

[Jérôme.]

They interviewed her with 原 昌和 from The Band Apart.

I didn't know their would be live performance ! And in duet Ishinari-san on guitar, who in my view is the real official guitar player of Maaya. I think he should play with her more often !

The set list was :
Tegami
Afternoon Repose
Okaerinasai

then they played the official PV of Replica.

Is was the first time I watched some live stream from Japan, I found it really nice !
I really hope someone could record this, the sound was awesome, and the accoustic arrangement perfect ! Yeah \o/

Edit : Thanks countdown65, Scoop for the correction

Nicola wasn't peformed on the broadcast :o It was "Tegami"

[Jérôme.]

Thanks, I edited the first post.
And this make sense : they were all songs already performed by Ishinari on previous tour, either YCCM or In the Silence.
Or were they ? Maybe he was not on YCCM tour, I have to check the photo book.

Anyway, the performance was really coooool ^_______^

Hello all! Long-time lurker here. I recorded the audio for this morning's U-stream broadcast. I'm cutting it right now and whatnot. I'll be posting it within the next day a few screen caps (Both the full interview + live songs). If you weren't able to view it, Maaya looked gorgeous!

[Scoop]

Let's see. SSW tour had Kono Shin on keyboard etc, Yasuo Sano on drums, Tomohiko Okanda on bass, Izumi Mizawa on percussion. The only one missing from 15th memorial live is Ishinari. So basically you're just mad that Ishinari wasn't there Personally I didn't mind that much. Much better than the Driving in the silence band in my opinion. Bass player and drummer were rather boring in that one.

What I'm trying to say is there is no 'band since Mitsubachi'. The 2012-2013 countdown band was the same as the YCCM tour band. Kono Shin, Yasuo Sano, Tomohiko Okanda, Ishinari Masato are still the go to musicians she uses. They were the most used players when recording SSW in studio. They probably play with her live whenever possible. But since they are musicians on their own they probably have projects that make it impossible for them to participate in tours every time.

My bad.
I haven't get anything from SSW tour right now, and as all the videos I've got from "recent" lives (Rock in Japan 2013 and 2014, Countdown Fest 13/14) was with the same band as Mitsubachi tour, I thougt (wrongly) that Kono Shin and the others were off now.

I'm very glad this is not the case. They do a very good work. I'll edit my first post. Thank you.

(And about In the Silence, I do agree I was sad when I realised Sano-san would not be on drums, as he made a perfect job in Budokan).

Hello again! I finished cutting and editing everything. Everything was recorded and tweaked in 320kbps, in order to maintain maximum integrity of the recording.

I'm not really sure how to format using this message board, so I hope it's all right if I link you all to my tumblr where I posted the recordings. Everything is hosted on Mega, and if you have any problems downloading, please let me know and I'll try to fix it for you.

I like Ishinari's guitar playing the most too

Maaya looks great!

So sad I've missed this. Would've been "the 1st Maaya Sakamoto-Stream".

The arrangement and the performance of both artists is really great!
I just created an entry on my YK blog!

Afternoon Repose is from Shanti, not from Yoko Kanno. But as it is from the Kanno era, and she know themself through the Escaflowne movie, this should be ok to say it is related to Kanno.

Santi wrote the lyrics.. Kanno the music... hog the arrangement (which is Kanno)
